Starting 14 July 2025, EBSCOhost, the platform used by Maastricht University (UM) researchers and students to access multiple licensed databases, will introduce a redesigned interface. This update brings new features including personalised dashboards and new ways to share and save resources.
There are a few changes to be aware of to ensure a smooth transition.
Here’s what you need to know:
- Automatic profile migration: Personal profiles will be migrated automatically to the new interface.
- Folders are now ‘Projects’ and only your main folder will be migrated: Subfolders will not be transferred. If you rely on subfolders, please check this manual. Please note: this functionality will be available until 31 December 2025.
- Bulk export: Export up to 20 times 25.000 items within a 24-hour period in multiple formats.
- Search history: Your search history is now accessible under ‘Recent Activity’ in the left-hand menu.
- Saved searches: Only saved searches stored in the general ‘MyFolder’ will be migrated. Saved searches in subfolders will not. Check this guide to move your saved searches to ‘MyFolder’ before the update.
- Updated instruction materials: The library will update all instructional materials as quickly as possible to align with the new interface.
